The parade route may be different for this year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade but the stellar line-up of stars hasn't.
Andrea Bocelli, Boys Like Girls, Alan Cumming, Billy Currington, DJ Lance Rock and the cast of Yo Gabba Gabba!, Gloria Gaynor, Emily Hughes, Kermit the Frog and Tiffany Thornton, Jane Krakowski, Cyndi Lauper, Ziggy Marley with Judah Marley, Katharine McPhee, Miss America 2009 – Katie Stam, the cast and Muppets of Sesame Street, Mitchel Musso, Keke Palmer, The Pizzarelli Quartet, Jay Sean, Carly Simon, and my favorite, Jimmy Fallon and The Roots are all scheduled to appear on various floats during the parade.
Of course, Today’s Matt Lauer, Meredith Viera and Al Roker will all be on hand to host live from Macy's for NBC as well.
But, the biggest star of all won't make his entrance until the parade's grand finale. That's right, Santa will take center stage at the end of the parade to officially usher in the holiday season.
